              CLUB LITANY
By Alice Ames Winter
Leader: God our Creator, our Father and our Friend,
from many homes and with many minds, we
come together this day bound each to each as
children of Thy wisdom, Thy love, Thy will.
Response: May day unto day utter the speech and
night unto night show knowledge.
Leader: May the spirit of the Lord rest upon us,
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit
of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
Response: Of us may it be said, " In her tongue is
the law of kindness; she looketh well to the ways
of her household and eateth not the bread of idle­ness.
Her children arise up and call her blessed,
saying: " Many daughters have done excellently,
but thou knowest them all."
Leader: Here may mercy and truth meet together,
righteousness and peace be together.
Response: So teach us to number our days that we
may apply our hearts to wisdom.
Leader: Here shall we stand in the ways and ask
where is the way, that we may walk therein.
Response: Behind Thy wisdom and Thy Counsel
lieth truth.
Leader: Though we have the gift of prophecy and
understand all mysteries and all knowledge and
though we have all faith so that we should re­move
mountains, and have not love, we are
nothing.
Response: Wilt Thou here light a candle of under­standing
in our hearts that shall not be put out?
Leader: Teach us that we cannot truly pray Thy
Prayer without a pledge that we will fulfill the
human part of bringing to pass Thy will and Thy
Kingdom here on earth. Amen.
